http://bvwv.nwaonline.com/news/2018/mar/07/do-you-really-know-who-to-trust-2018030/I have had a lot of dental work over the years. The worst was having surgery on both jaws to allow my front teeth to meet. Prior to the surgery I had never bitten my tongue due to the gap between my upper and lower teeth. Since I was a pseudo-medical student at the time, I asked the surgeon if I could stand in on a procedure on another patient so I could get an idea of what was involved. He replied, &quot;If you saw what happens during the surgery, you would most likely change your mind about going through with it.&quot; Apparently the procedure involved pulling my face off and other gruesome activities. I didn&#39;t watch and went ahead with the surgery with no problems.Devin Houston Write OnWed, 07 Mar 2018 05:00:00 -0500http://bvwv.nwaonline.com/news/2018/mar/07/do-you-really-know-who-to-trust-2018030/
